Risk Assessment Description:

This car park safety checklist from Health & Safety Zone is designed for maintenance and facilities staff at commercial gyms, swimming pools and sports leisure centres to ensure safe pedestrian and vehicle movement in car parks and external areas.

It covers all key safety dimensions – planning, competence, lighting, surface condition, segregation, traffic management, emergency provisions, personal protective equipment and corrective action – and references the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 as the governing legislation. The guidance outlines how to assess lighting levels, inspect surfaces for ice, snow or water, verify clear signage, maintain barriers and markings, ensure fire safety equipment is serviceable, and confirm that staff wear high‑visibility clothing and suitable footwear when working in the car park.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑opening checks – confirm lighting, surface and signage are safe before the facility opens.
  • Regular inspections – spot‑check car park conditions throughout operating hours.
  • Post‑maintenance verification – ensure repairs are completed and hazards removed.

Inspectors answer Yes, No or N/A for each item, record any No responses and implement corrective action before the area is used. Findings are logged, reviewed weekly and retained as part of the site’s safety records.

Fully editable and shareable – customise the questions to your site, download as a PDF and share with your team.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

What types of safety checklist can I create?

We are building specialist checklists across a wide range of subjects and industries — fire safety, workplace inspections, equipment and machinery checks, site inductions, vehicle checks, PPE, first aid and more. Browse by category to find the right one.

How often should safety checklists be completed?

It depends on the activity and your risk assessment — many checks are daily, weekly or monthly, while others are done before each task or shift. Completed, dated checklists provide a useful record of your monitoring.

Are the checklists a substitute for a risk assessment?

No. A checklist is a monitoring and inspection tool that complements your risk assessments and method statements — it helps confirm that controls are in place and working. Use them alongside your risk assessments.
